I have used ufile for several years and I am happy with it. Everything is done on their servers so it doesn't rely on having a particular OS on your own computer. Robin On Sun, Apr 8, 2012 at 10:44 PM, caziz wrote: > Why not just run your favourite WinDoze flavour under wine? > > > > On 12-04

I have an incredibly cross-platform capable tax system. An Accountant. :) But of course it would not be the best choice in all cases. On 12-04-09 06:54 AM, Richard Carter wrote: I have used ufile for several years and I am happy with it. Everything is done on their servers so it doesn't rely

The Keyboard locale is set for en-us UTF-8 but some of the keys are not mapped properly. Its an IBM PC-104 KB... standard which I've used for over a decade. for instance the ?/ key gives a little e and a big E with I think two (2) dots on it. the ~` key gives * and some thing else. How can

Ubuntu is great because it has the awesomeness of apt (I am particularly fond of aptitude) while taking a more pragmatic approach to hardware support (proprietary firmware blobs etc.). In a perfect world I would choose Debian. For this imperfect world we have Ubuntu. If you want to waste a weeke

Sounds like your box is treating the keyboard as a french keyboard. I'm assuming you are using the default desktop (which is Unity these days). In which case... well, I dislike Unity, so immediately switch to gnome, but only long enough to install the KDE desktop (via the kubuntu-desktop paca

I have wasted a LOT more than just a weekend configuring Debian and I hate it. But so far I'm turned off at Kubuntu. The Keyboard is NOT configured properly and so far I'm in for five (5) hours. Next the disk is NOT partitioned even remotely as it should be. So I will try a live re-partitioni

No... I installed Kubuntu so it should already be KDE. I suspect it might be a French Keyboard as well! But I don't know why. I am French and maybe they peaked at my birth certificate! I am use to the American English Keyboard and I prefer to stay that way. On Mon, Apr 09, 2012 at 05:50:12

I have had spotty luck with a Kubuntu live CD for installations. I have found the more reliable path is to install a stock Ubuntu first (sans KDE) and then install the kubuntu-desktop package. I've also had better luck with the alternate install disk, or the net-install disk. When the Kubunt
